Foam for pin lock down bar

Post by SquidVicious »

The lock down bar on one of my pins has some pretty nasty foam, I'm thinking of picking up a strip of weather sealing foam .. is this a decent replacement or is there something others would recommend ?

Squid, Home Depot is your friend. Go for the weather stripping. There are different widths but the length is around 10' and is black. Measure your present "beer seal" then you know which one to buy. Costs around $7.

Closed cell foam is the kind you're looking for.

Yes, that is what I meant to say, closed cell foam like Websherpa said.

I have some from PBR that I never used. Just remind me next time you're here, Dan.

It's one of those items I just usually add to my shopping list when I order.... Never know when it will come in handy, and they're only about $1 each.

When you take the old one off... make sure you get all the bumps/debris off - otherwise it won't stick properly.
